Many wise men and women will now point out that overproduction of food is not necessary and if extra food is needed it can be bought in the world markets. It is correct that limited food rarely means any food at all and the rich can always afford to eat at will.

To complicate matters, the overproduction of food must be disposed off and throwing food away is often considered politically incorrect in a world with many poor and starving. Private individuals clean out old foodstuff stored in their kitchens with regular intervals, and the governments occasionally need to dispose of and renew strategic stocks stored in national food supply systems. Some of the strategic overproduction is exported, often with subsidies from the taxpayer, and some is given as food aid to poor countries. Such food gifts - or food sold at dumping prices - sounds good at home, but in reality it undermines the domestic food production of the recipient country and breeds dependency on the rich and “generous” donor country. Helping poor nations to help themselves is better than just helping by donating stuff for consumption, except in strict famine emergencies that require urgent action.

وما يزيد الأمور تعقيدًا هو حتمية التخلص من فائض إنتاج الغذاء، وإهدار الغذاء يعد في الغالب أمرًا خاطئًا من الناحية السياسية في ظل عالم يعاني بنسبة كبيرة من الفقر والمجاعة. يقوم الأفراد بالتخلص من المواد الغذائية القديمة المخزنة في مطابخهم على فترات منتظمة، كما تحتاج الحكومات من حين إلى آخر إلى التخلص من المخزون الاستراتيجي المُخزن في أنظمة الإمدادات الغذائية الوطنية وتجديده. ويتم تصدير بعض فائض الإنتاج الاستراتيجي، بإعانات من دافعي الضرائب في الغالب، بينما يتم منح البعض الآخر في صورة معونات غذائية إلى الدول الفقيرة. وتلقى هذه المنح الغذائية - أو عمليات بيع الغذاء التي تتم بأسعار منخفضة - قبولاً في الداخل، لكنها تقوض في واقع الأمر الإنتاج المحلي للغذاء في البلد الذي يحصل عليها وتأصل مبدأ الاعتماد على الدول المانحة الغنية و"الكريمة". فمساعدة الدول الفقيرة على الاعتماد على أنفسها أفضل من مجرد مساعدتها من خلال منحها المواد الغذائية لاستهلاكها، إلا في حالات المجاعات الشديدة الطارئة التي تتطلب التحرك العاجل.

Вопрос тем более сложный, что от излишков производства пищевых продуктов необходимо избавляться, а выбрасывать продукты в мире, где живет так много бедных и голодающих, считается политически некорректным. Частные лица регулярно избавляются от старых продуктов, залежавшихся на кухне, а правительствам периодически приходится избавляться от стратегических запасов, хранящихся в государственных системах снабжения продовольствием, и возобновлять их. Определенная часть стратегического перепроизводства экспортируется, зачастую на субсидии, полученные от налогоплательщиков, а часть раздается в виде продовольственной помощи бедным странам. Подобные продовольственные дары – или продажа продуктов питания по бросовым ценам – хорошо звучит для общественности страны, но на самом деле это подрывает производство продуктов питания в стране, которая получает подобную помощь, и порождает зависимость от богатых и «щедрых» донорских стран. Помогать бедным странам, чтобы они сами помогли себе, лучше, чем просто безвозмездно отдавать им продукты для потребления, за исключением чрезвычайных ситуаций, когда население голодает и необходимо предпринять неотложные меры.
